GOLF is BETTER THAN oRoss.

Better a shoeless foot, in honest pathways
found,
Than one by wealth protected, on vile, forbid

Better a gloyeless hand, hardened by c~easeless
toll,
Than one of s~potless beauty that grasps dis
honest spoils.
Better an illclad body, with comfort, strength,
and health,
Than one diseased and suffering, with count
less mines Of wealth.
Better a low position, with little or no renown,
Than to walk in courts Of sinners and wear a
regal crown.
Better a common toiIer, an heir 10 wealth above,
Than dwell on earth a monarch, without a

THE RECEPTION OF CLEVELAND.
Further Arrangements for the Occasion
Cause of the Hendricks Club Disaffection.

The executive committee in charge OF the
ception of President Cleveland met yesterday
morning at the Board of Trade rooms and did a
large amount of consulting without doing very
much business. A. w. Conduit, United States
Marshal Hawkins and Noble c. Butler were ap-
pointed subcommittee to look after the
musical features of the day. Mr.. Byram in
quired whether the disaffsction in the Hendricks
Club over the makeup of the procession and its
line of march was such to prevent the'clue
from appearing. Mr.. Conduit replied. be-
half of the club, that although some members
would probably refuse to participate, the club,
body. would be on hand All uniformed
clubs of the State, civil and military, will be in
vited to take part in the procession. The state
ment, which has received some circulation, that
the line will be reformed after the reception at
the State-houss, is erroneous. The only escort
of the carriages will be the mounted company.
A member OF the Hendricks Club states that
the disaffection in the organization is for two
causes In the first place. the people who will
want to see the parade cannot be crowded into
the sidewalk space between Noble street and
the Statehouse There is not room enough for
Washington street at all. The street is a dis
grace to the city. He thinks that the Pres-
dent will be SO jolted in his passage over the
powders that he will not be able to stand up
when he reaches the Capitol.
Another member of the club is disguised be
cause Hon. David Turpie has been assigned
place the programme. He declares that this
is a slight, and insinuatss that there is some
dark conspiracy behind it.
The executive committee instructed the COM
mittee decorations to correspond with the
proper authorities OF the War Department for
the purpose of securing number of flags. The
committee also ordered to prepare designs
aud estimates for decorating the State-house.
Mr.. Conduit was requested to procure samples
of badges for the members of the various COM
mittees. The cost of the reception and the
methods of raising the necessary money, as it
is thought $1,000 will be required to defray ali
expenses were discussed and finally referred to
Mr.. Byram, chairman of the finance committee,
which will meet at the Board of Trade rooms at
8 o'clock Monday afternoon.

DEMANDS OF THE sWITCHMEN.
The Railroad Superintendents Are Not Dis
posed to Grant an Increase of Wages.

The superintendsnts of the railroads center
Ing here held a meeting yesterday to consider
the demands made by tho switchmen. Mr..
Sherwood, Of the c., l., ST. L. g. c., was unable
10 be present. Although no definite action
taken, it was evidently the of those pres
snt that the demands made by the men were
unjust and il was not advisable to grant them.
Evidence was produced showing that 1t did not
cost as much to live in Indianapolis as in Chi
saeo; that switchmen DO not work as hard as
those in Chicago and that the wages paid at
Indianapolis are unusually high. One superin-
tendept suggested that the pay of the night
men be increased. hut there was general ex-
preston that question. Another meeting
will be called next week, when Mr.. Sherwood
and all will be present, and then it will be do
cided what position the companies will take re-
Rarding the demands. The switchmep, a
majority of them, assert that there is no intsn-
ton Of ipaueurafine a strike II the companies
should decide TO make no advance in their paw
or fix the number OF hours which shall consti-
tute days work. There a few who make
threats, but they men who will have no in
huencs, IL is thought. with the cool-headed and
prudent men who are engaged in this branch of
